New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Hurlingham
We carry out new roof snagging in Hurlingham and across London and the South East. A visit normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed gutters blocked by building debris and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Homes across London range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, post-war blocks and new developments, and a home in Hurlingham could be any of them. Whether the roof is old or newly laid, the problem areas depend on how and when the building went up. Slates, hidden valley gutters, parapets and flat roofs over back additions all need checking in their own way.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Buying a home or a new roof in Hurlingham
About 0.7 miles west lies Fulham Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Hurlingham has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that cannot be seen from the pavement. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you let a flat or house near Imperial Wharf station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Dionis, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

When to book a survey in Hurlingham
Many people book because something does not look right. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before signing off the job.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
As a London address, Hurlingham can be tricky for parking: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Their report turnaround times
- What exactly goes into their report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is frequently from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it’s useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Hurlingham runs like any other.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

FAQs for Hurlingham
Is my home in Hurlingham listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Hurlingham?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we’ll work around them.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
Do you work in Hurlingham?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Hurlingham included.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.
Roof by roof
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Flashings
Loose or badly dressed flashings are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Details hidden from sight
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- How the roof will perform for years to come
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
What we look at

- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
Landlord and commercial surveys in Hurlingham
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
Why get it checked now?
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly, rather than in a rush after a leak.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
